Some in our class have talked about a uniform change as well, but we haven't formally tried to implement one - since we're not sure the majority of the class would vote for new ones (due to the cost of having to buy them all over again, with only one year left to go).
We don't have the apron.. thank goodness! It's solid white, pants are tapered with a seam sewn into the front - so ugly! Of course, white leather shoes. Top is white, zips about 3/4 of the way down (not sure why it doesn't go all the way), has pleating above the breast, and the shoulders/sleeves kind of poof out. On our left shoulder we have a blue school patch (also on our lab coats). They're very uncomfortable, and not too good-looking, either!
I just live for the days when we go to OR or L&D so we can wear the comfy green hospital scrubs!

Do You Wear a Vest? Student Uniforms.
) is white uniform pants (any brand/type as long as they're not see through), royal blue polo shirt with the College name and the word nursing embrodered in the left lapel area in white and white cardigan style lab jacket with the school patch on the shoulder of the sleeve. Also a name pin and white shoes and socks. We joke that we look like smurfs and just need the white hat. I actually think the vest would come in handy as my last few clinical sites have been really warm. I miss the pockets when I take my coat off, so I wind up sweltering.
